Asteroid danger is closer than you think! NASA says asteroid coming at 16272 kmph

[ad_1] A small yet potentially hazardous asteroid is hurtling towards Earth at a speed of 16272 kmph today. Know what NASA said. Did you know, there are currently 1113527 known asteroids? One of which is rushing towards Earth today! NASA has confirmed that a potentially hazardous asteroid is all set to make its closest approach to Earth. NASA's JPL data has confirmed that the upcoming asteroid measures just 29 feet in diameter. Despite being small in size, this asteroid is dubbed as being potentially hazardous by scientists. Also, NASA's Planetary Defence Coordination Office has red-flagged Asteroid 2022 UU8, and the reason is its terrifyingly close proximity to Earth. To know whether the upcoming asteroid poses any threat to Earth or not, NASA keeps a close eye on all the upcoming...

150-foot asteroid zooming towards Earth, says NASA; Know if it is scary or hazardous

[ad_1] A massive 150-foot wide asteroid is coming at massive speed towards Earth. Should we worry? NASA explains. Earth heaved a sigh of relief as a humongous 360-feet wide asteroid shot past Earth at extremely close quarters yesterday! This asteroid named 2022 RB5 marked its closest approach at just 3.11 million miles. It was termed as a potentially hazardous asteroid because of its large size and uncomfortably close approach to Earth. However, asteroid terror is still out there! There is another asteroid named 2005 AZ28 which is zooming towards Earth at a speed of 19522 km per hour. This asteroid also falls under the category of potentially hazardous objects and it is coming tomorrow.But how does NASA determine if the upcoming asteroid is dangerous for Earth or not? These giant rock...

Scary! 2 giant asteroids zooming towards Earth TODAY; one will come terrifyingly close

[ad_1] Two potentially hazardous asteroids are hurtling towards Earth today. Should you worry? NASA explains. Yesterday, Earth was buzzed by a humongous 180-foot asteroid. Thankfully, it flew safely past. Its closest approach to the Earth was 4.2 million miles. But that is not always the case! The two infamous cases of asteroid strikes that still manage to bring the terror of asteroids to the fore in our consciousness include the "Tunguska Event," which resulted in a shockwave shearing trees across a huge region of Russia back in 1908. The second one is none other than the dinosaur-killing asteroid, which struck around 66 million years ago.These asteroids in space travel around the Sun, but they can alter their paths due to any disturbance in the gravitational force of planets and eve...

180-foot asteroid hurtling towards Earth today; NASA calls it potentially hazardous

[ad_1] A 180-foot asteroid is hurtling towards Earth today. NASA warned about the potential danger from this massive space rock. It was such a busy and scary day. As many as four massive asteroids were set for a close encounter with the Earth! One of these is massive 180-foot asteroid. NASA has confirmed that this potentially hazardous asteroid is all set to make its closest approach to Earth today. This asteroid dubbed 2022 SK48 will come as close as 6.79 million kilometres or 4.2 million miles to the Earth.These monster rocks in space travel around the Sun, but they can change their paths due to the gravitational force of planets and sometimes even collide with them as happened with the asteroid that caused the extinction of dinosaurs when it crashed into the Earth! However, it may ...

This scary asteroid zooming towards Earth at 41930 kmph today; know what NASA said

[ad_1] A small but potentially hazardous asteroid is zooming towards the Earth today. Here’s what NASA said. NASA says a potentially hazardous asteroid is all set to make its closest approach to Earth today! The asteroid measures just 34 feet in diameter, NASA's JPL confirmed. Still, it has been dubbed as being potentially hazardous for Earth and the reason lies in its worryingly close approach. NASA's Planetary Defence Coordination Office has red-flagged Asteroid 2022 TR due to its close proximity to Earth.To determine the potential threat from an asteroid or near-Earth object, NASA keeps a close eye on all the upcoming objects such as asteroids and comets. NASA's Asteroid Watch dashboard says the asteroid will approach to within 4.6 million miles or 7.5 million kilometers to Earth. ...

Scary! A 100-foot asteroid hurtling towards Earth today, August 28; NASA shares details

[ad_1] A 100-foot asteroid is hurtling towards Earth today, August 28! NASA warned about the massive space rock. Will this asteroid strike the Earth? Yesterday, Earth narrowly escaped a giant asteroid named Asteroid NEO 2022 QQ4, which was 100-foot in diameter. However, it flew safely past the Earth. Its closest approach to the Earth was 5.93 million kilometres. NASA's CNEOS has revealed that it travelled at a speed of 7.23 km per second. These giant rocks in space travel around the Sun, but they can change their paths due to the gravitational force of planets and sometimes even collide with them as happened with the asteroid that caused the extinction of dinosaurs when it crashed into the Earth! However, it may happen only i...
